A parliamentary committee is urging the Trudeau government to provide details on a financial crime-busting program it first proposed three years ago and subsequently promised in the last two budgets.

“In Budget 2022, the government announced its intention to create a Canada Financial Crimes Agency, a commitment that was reiterated in Budget 2023,” wrote the Commons foreign affairs committee in a report presented to the House on Jan. 31.
